"There are times when trying harder isn't enough."
Trivia[]
An altered version of Marika's dream dinghy struggle is featured as a Pirate Reach mission in Fever Mouretsu Pirates[1].
Marika is shown squeezing through various crates when racing to the bridge - twice in the episode. Perhaps implying the Bentenmaru is currently cluttered.
